But it's those few times I have the ease of use of the Android ecosystem whenever i want certain things that holds me back. You were closer than you were willing to give yourself credit for, yet were further off than you thought, MSFT.
To me, that last sentence sums up Windows on Mobile since the 2003SE days.- Share

- I shouldn't have any issues. I might do an exchange since they have another one. Fortunately, it will get to them very fast but I'm not sure how that goes for exchanges.

- There are some times i wish to just sell all the Android gear i have and just use the OG 360 as a time piece with the XL as the daily driver.

Weirdly enough, I have considered being done with Android and just have my iPhone and 950 with me as my choices. I'm indecisive and I like to be really sure so I don't know when/if I'll do that.- Share

- I agree with you. I think it's a hard choice for sure. I really like my 950 but the battery life is my true gripe.

Having a spare battery with you sounds annoying to me. I know that there's advantages but that's just not my thing, especially considering the process it takes to remove the cover from the 950s. My poor nails
Nails aside, I like to have just the things I need in a light load day to day.03-08-2017 11:30 PMLike 0 - Yes, swapping batteries even on the XL is a pain. Still, some people value that convenience to be able to power through a heavy usage day by not having the power outlet hold you by the balls...

- Most likely she got hit by that software feature introduced in 5.0 where even after a factory reset the phone's setup screen is still tied to the last email that was set up with the device...

After having my Honor 8 break because I wanted to roll back, I'm so done with any and all of that.03-09-2017 12:22 AMLike 0 -
- Had this happen plenty of times, so there are some guides online's depending on the device to get around it. It was added to deter people who stole phones, if memory serves me correctly. It's why when you're asking a used phone, being sure you've wiped the device correctly is a big key.

- Just for the record. I was suggesting using the official Sony software. It shouldn't break anything but I understand if you'd rather send it back.

The Commonwealth is built on the back of the British Empire. It's the group of countries that used to belong to it (and possibly some others who joined). It was originally referred to as the British Commonwealth and having the Queen as it's head, which she still is, gives it that impression all the more that it's for the UK's benefit.
Countries are members of the Commonwealth, which they pay to be a part of, if you asked most people in those countries who are a part of it, not many, if virtually none, would know that.
Being a member doesn't provide citizens with any special status within the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is more about shared values, culture and language than anything else. There's some nonsense about keeping peace and other blather but at the end the day it's an entirely meaningless entity as far as I'm concerned.
It also doesn't help that a lot of the countries are still constitutional monarchies either, a lot with the Queen as the head of state. Like Canada and Australia for instance.
There never is any knowledge passed around of what it means to be a part of this group of countries or what benefit there is. In a sense, it would appear mostly ceremonial.
As each country within the Commonwealth is independent and it's own entity it has control of it's borders, laws and so on so things like immigration are still treated no different between the countries than if someone from outside the Commonwealth was applying.
There was recent talk about creating a Commonwealth 'free movement' law between Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK but I don't see that getting very far.
So if you're wondering, yes my immigration to Australia was no different than if I was American applying to immigrate there.
Same goes for the UK.
Any agreements between countries with regards to trade, immigration and so on is between those countries. So for example, the UK and Australia used to have some agreements on immigration but those have since stopped as far as I know.
Along with the Commonwealth I'd also like to see constitutional monarchies finished as well. Those countries who still have the Queen as the head of state pay for that privilege. Something that again, most of those who live in those countries do not know.
When I say pay, I do mean millions. I believe it was over $54M CAD for Canada. Similar for Australia.
So yeah, I don't have the most positive opinions on either of those two things.- Share

- Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm apprehensive because I used the official Honor firmware to roll my phone back, and it broke. I'm hoping that the exchange wouldn't need that but that's good to know.03-09-2017 08:21 AMLike 0
